| Blanca
has a dream. When her 2nd grade teacher had the kids draw their dreams,
some drew money. Some drew pretty houses. Some drew toys or
candy. Blanca drew a classroom full of children with her as the teacher.
She taped it on her wall. She knows that it will be hard to reach
her dream. Her family is poor and speak little English. Her
friends make fun of her desire to learn. Can a poor girl from the
barrio even hope to grow up, go to college and achieve her desire?
